Classic flymph and very similar to one I used 2 days ago for emerging yellow mayflies.

Re: Hen&Underfur Flymph
Very nice sparse light dressing. Looks great on the heavy wire hook.

Dearest Kacbo,
Wow! This is a really nice flymph! In the waters that I fish, I know that they would gobble this up! You have done an excellent job in all ways esp. in the choosing and the tying of the hackle. I looks very real and very "buggy". Wonderful work friend!
Enjoying what you are doing,
Dougsden

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
Re: Hen&Underfur Flymph
Guys, particularly Dougsden - Thank You very much for kind words!

Re: Hen&Underfur Flymph
A very nice fly Kacbo, I like it a lot.
Very well dressed, with simple easily obtained materials.
Only! What underfur did you use

Re: Hen&Underfur Flymph
My kind of fly! Very nice work. Really like the lightly dubbed body.

Re: Hen&Underfur Flymph
Thank's guys!
@Donald
It's fox underfur, very fine and brownish-tanish in color. I don't believe that particular color, nor fox donor is that important, just didn't had some other fine dubbing handy. Beaver or superfine or mole should be just fine(r).
Also... Some time ago I tied some hoppers (LeTorte). Deer hair patch was obviously late season kill, so had to comb underfur out. What a fine dubbing! Couple hoppers provide dubbing for a half dozen #16 emergers.
